These phages have contractile tails, and therefore it is appropriate to use the terms "tail sheath" and "tail tube" in the annotation. |

The ParB in the AOs should be labeled "ParB-like nuclease domain". These phages are not temperate and there is no ParA partner in the genome to allow for plasmid like partitioning of the prophage genome. |

Lysin A is encoded by two adjacent genes within cluster AN, and each portion should be labeled with its specific domain, for example "lysin A, peptidase domain" |

The major capsid protein, scaffolding protein, and protease are all encoded by a single gene. |

The major capsid protein, scaffolding protein, and capsid maturation protein are fused into a single protein and encoded by a single gene. |

The tape measure protein is located amidst the minor tail proteins, rather than upstream of them all. |

Cluster AU phages have two genes that appear to encode major tail proteins. |

there are many many membrane proteins in the AM phages. this makes it very difficult to identify the holin. |

The partitioning proteins in the AL phages are the "ParB-like nuclease domain" type, and not the sets that are actually causing plasmid partitioning for the prophage. There is no evidence that the AL phages are temperate. |

AK phages have an extra domain fused to their portal proteins. This domain is similar to the F gene of phage Mu, which is a protein involved in capsid morphogenesis. This gene should be labeled "portal and MuF-like fusion protein" Revised: Do not call any of the MuF-like minor capsid proteins for now. (6/16/21) |
